FINALLY.  I can take Maya outside for pictures!!!  She can sit up on her own, we finally have some nice weather, and I have a “reason” to take a bunch of pictures!  Let’s be honest, I always take pictures, but I feel less ridiculous when I actually have a reason.  NINE MONTHS!!!  She’s officially been out of my belly as long as she was in!!  Wow…

She’s…

*STANDING!!!!  {holding on to something, and only if I make her, but still!!!}

*Clapping!  Loooooves to clap!

*Kind of waving.  She was so proud of clapping, that it took a while to add something else in 🙂

*Kiiiiinda crawling.  Really only skootching backwards and only a few feet with no real destination in mind…

*Loves to cluck her tongue.  So stinking cute.

*Just recently smooching her face up like a kiss, but instead it’s really like she’s sniffing her upper lip ha ha.  I’ll take it!

She was officially 9 months on 4th of July.  She went to her first parade {loved it!} and heard her first fireworks courtesy of her big brothers {hated it!}

I took these before the actual loud fireworks went off…

This cracks me up.  She’s not even a thumb sucker.  Must have been soothing herself from the loud noises.  Either way, we went inside shortly thereafter…The next day I took her out for her official 9 month shoot.She wasn’t too happy about sitting in the grass, so the flower was a nice distraction 🙂I knew there was a very short window that I could photograph her on this bridge, so I jumped on it!The shoulder shrug is a new thing too!  Ha ha.  Such a flirt…Um…are we done yet?Then back inside for her official “9 month” shot.  Again with the shoulder!  LOVE IT!!!
LOVE YOU PEANUT BUTTER!!!
